How can the EU’s new biomethane mechanism support regional development, attract investment and accelerate the growth of the biomethane sector?

On 21 May, the European Commission’s Directorate-General for Energy, DG ENERGY, will host a webinar focusing on the biomethane mechanism under the EU Energy and Raw Materials Platform. The webinar is aimed particularly at regional authorities and other actors working with energy, climate, green transition and the development of the biogas and biomethane market.

The biomethane mechanism is part of the EU’s efforts to strengthen competitiveness, support decarbonisation and improve security of supply. Through the platform, the European Commission aims to facilitate interaction between demand and supply in a more transparent and structured way.

During the webinar, participants will learn how the mechanism can help address cross-border barriers, increase market visibility and create better conditions for investment in biomethane.

The webinar will cover:

  • how regions can benefit from the biomethane mechanism
  • how the platform can help increase market transparency
  • matching features to support market discovery between buyers and suppliers
  • a regulatory dashboard providing clarity on national frameworks
  • investment conditions for the development of the biomethane sector

The webinar is relevant for regional and municipal actors, policymakers, public authorities and others working to develop renewable energy and strengthen the role of biogas in the green transition.
